tips for north americans - tickets are hella cheap via iberia right now, around $500 r/t from nyc (or so they were a week ago when i booked mine).
tip: give yourself a good several days in advance to explore barcelona if you haven't been before, because you won't have a second during the fest itself. and don't, whatever you do, book a ticket leaving monday after the festival, or you'll still be drunk (or otherwise altered) when you catch it. there are usually pretty good afterparties monday night, anyway, so it's worth staying.
